It is a whisk(e)y book author&#39;s whisk(e)y book. Correction and condensation have been a breeze, but titling all those blank spiral notebooks by hand--with permanent marker--took serious commitment. It will, however, have been worth it for the legions of whisk(e)y aficianados whom are compulsive-reflective writers and insatiable list makers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-71012191932723552802011-06-22T16:32:16.236-07:002011-06-22T16:32:16.236-07:00Another great post, Sku.

It&#39;s dangerously close to being more like the old Sears Wish Book than anything. Granted, with 750 whiskies to get through, how could you be as thorough as it merits? Hard to say. <br /><br />There are some interesting things there but a lot of the time it seems like there was just a vertical of all expressions (eg a TON of Glenrothes, Bruichladdich, and if the whole Macallan range isn&#39;t in there then it&#39;s just missing one or two). <br /><br />There are others where it seems like they were included as a favor because Roskrow spends ages talking about watching a soccer match where they played this one song on the PA and it was damp and windy outside, and his boy had just completed toilet training and, oh yes the whiskey... well, it&#39;s nice, if you like that sort of thing, all soft and jammy. <br /><br />Anything more than top 10 doesn&#39;t force enough hard decisions to make a list interesting and/or debate-worthy. <br /><br />Kate&#39;s book is a travelogue. It&#39;s not bad. It&#39;s definitely not cut out of the same cloth as Buxton&#39;s or Roskrow&#39;s (haven&#39;t seen MacLean&#39;s but I&#39;d imagine it to be the same).Regular Chumpingtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-17920040136799394762011-06-22T00:20:41.972-07:002011-06-22T00:20:41.972-07:00This makes my new &quot;10 Essential Scotch Whiski...This makes my new &quot;10 Essential Scotch Whiskies&quot; look so puny.<br /><br />I&#39;ve read there is a new &quot;1001 whiskies to try&quot; book in the making. Your 13756 is danegerously close to the number of whiskies in the Malt Maniacs Monitor. I trust you won&#39;t just copy them ;-)Oliver Klimekhttp://www.dramming.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-13891583203481183212011-06-21T18:06:46.537-07:002011-06-21T18:06:46.537-07:00Point taken.

I thought damn near the same thing when I saw the 500 of the Best title a while back, and now there&#39;s a 750 Best volume?<br /><br />Could there really be too many more than 750 worth tasting, let alone seeking out? I&#39;m satisfied with my own (or your) short list, thank you very much!sam knoreply@blogger.com
